sufferer from cancer on my face, which
grew worse until the discharge of matter
became profuse and very offensive. l be-
came thoroughly disgusted with blood
purifiers and pronounced them humbugs,
as had tried many without relief.
Finally I was induced to use B. B. B.,
which was about the 1st of February, and
continued it's use until the latter part of
April. The offensive discharge decreased
at once and the hardness around the can
Ger disappeared. 1t improved my gener-
al health and rapidly gained flesh and
strength. The discharge gradually de-
creased and the cancer became less and
less in size until nothing remains except
scar to tell the tale of once dangerous
cancer. All who have seen me since
have commenced the use of B. B. B. bear
testimony of my great improvement. and
the scar on my face shows that it cured
the cancer. 1 find that B. B. B. comes
squarely up to what it is recommended

this wonderful medicine. have tried them

Insomuch as John Crutcher was
the confederate Of Dick Tate in
perpetrating the great practical
joke on Charley Featherston, when
that individual was shot with a
syringe of ice water. and it took a
half dozen doctors to convince the
said Charley that he was not dead;
and whereas the said John N. claims
to have been born Democrat and
rocked in hickory cradle, we
think him eminently qualified to
be the opponent Of the said James
William in the coming contest for
Treasurer. If Barry South can't
cope with Tate we are confident
Crutcher, the al0v toXeurd can.
Therefore this call is made upon
him to announce himself and give
his opinions on the great political
questions of the day.
SEVERAL FRIENDS.
The Frankfort roundabout., 1887-04-30

We call your attention to the adj
vertisement of a remedy which has
stood the test of more than a half
century with increasing popularity
and is universally admitted to have
no equal as remedy for the cure of
diseases originating in a disOrdered
Liver, such as Dyspepsia, BiliOusness,
Constipation, Headache, Collie, etc.
Simmons Liver regulator is simple
and harmless, purely vegetable, and
can be safely and advantageOusly
used under any circumstances. 1t
acts mildly and effectually, and is es-
pecially valuable as Family Medi-
cine, which position it holds i'm so
many homes. We do not know
another preparation which can bring
forward such endorsements from
heads of families and those holding
the highest official and social posi-
tiOns. Keep Simmons Liver Regula-
Tor in your house, it will reduce your
doctors bill and insure for your fam
lilies health and happiness.
1t seems strange, but it Is neverthe-
less true, that the world contains
people who will try to initiate, cOun.
terfeit or substitute something else
for a genuine, meritOriOus article,
even to the extent of making a spuri-
Gus medicine, risking life and health,
and it behOOves every one to look
that they buy only the Genuine.

But it was rain instead of drouth,

A country delegate started in
the convention with a straw hat,
but as it became necessary for him
to- give emphasis to his frequent
remarks by jerking it from his
head and giving it vigorous
flourish, it would not stand the
racket, and was soon in tatters.
When last seen he was hourishing
a new broad brimmed soft hat
which looked as if it would do SER

You are feeling depressed, your
appetitei is poor, you are bothered with
headache, you are fidgetty, nervous,
and generally out of sorts, and want to
brace up. Brace up, but not with stiln-
ulants, spring medicines or bitters
which have for their basis very cheap,
bad whisky and which stimulate you
for an hour and then leave you in
worse condition than before. What
you want is an Alternative that will
purify your blood, start healthy action

vitality and give renewed health and

Several physicians have pronounced my

me. Last Summer l used eighteen bot

and am proud to say that l have received
greater benefit from them than from the
eighteen, and am now rapidly recovering.

The Convention.

that the Democratic Mass Conven-
ton, which met in this city Satur-
day afternoon, would be an old
time howler, but it double dis.
counted anything of the kind ever
held in this county before. 1t was
a daisy, and no mistake. Early in
the day the country people began
to gather in, and when the con-
vention was called to order at 2
o'clock, by Peter Jett, Esq, the
venerable chairman Of the County
Committee, the Courthouse was
so densely packed that it was
impossible to conduct the business
of the meeting there and an ad-
iournment was had to the State
House yard.
The interest of the delegates
seemed to centre in the race for
State Treasurer, and the friends of
Hon. Jas. w. Tate and Mr.. w.
T. B. South, the two candidates
for that position, were on hand
early and worked like beavers,
each side being determined to Sc.
cure the craftsmanship of the con-
vention. When the crowd had gath
cred in the State House yard Mr..
lett announced that nominations
were in order for the position of
chairman, when DR.. E. E. Hume
nominated Mr.. John Meagher, "as
the friend of Mr.. South, and called
upon all in favor Of him to go
over on the west side of the yard
to be counted. Mr.. J. Swigert
Taylor nominated Hon. Thos. w.
Scott, 'as the representative Of
the Democracy of Franklin coun-
ty," and called upon all Demo
Gratis to 60 over to the east side of
the yard to be counted. The
fri nds of the respective candidates
separated as suggested and two
gentlemen-one for Tate and one
for South-were appointed to
count them. The count progress
ed very we'll for awhile until Mr..
r. C.. Church, the South man ap
pointed TO count the Scott vote,
declined to count further, when
some confusion arose; but after so
long lime the count was report
ed to the Chairman of the County
Committee, who announced that
Mr.. Scott had been elected Chair
of the Convention. The crowd
then lifted up it's voice and howled,
and kept on bowling for half
hour. Finally Mr.. Scott showed
his face in the rear of the crowd,
upon the steps of the State House,
and instantly there was a rush for
him. Men climbed up each others
backs in their anxiety to get into
the squeeze, and others bobbed up
and down in the surging crowd
like corks on troubled waters, and
it looked to an outsider as if Mr..
Scott would be crushed beneath
the mass of struggling human be-
ings who We're trying to pile them
selves upon him, but in few mo-
ments he showed up again, little
pale but smiling, the Tate men
having come to his rescue and
pushed the South hustlers back.
Then lively game Of push and
pull. crowd and squeeze, followed,
the crowd yelling like wild In
dians all the time. The fellows
who could oct their hacks aUainSf
The Frankfort roundabout., 1887-04-30

Mr. Scott got around to the east
end of the steps, where the crowd
could not we'll get at him, and Mr..
John Meagher was raised up until
he stood upon the shoulders of
several stalwart South men, and
the two candidates for Chairman
stood looking down upon the
struggling, yelling crowd below
them for some time without any,
thing being done.
At the suggestion of some one,
both gentlemen got down from
their perches and retired for con-
sultation. In few minutes they
returned and both addressed the
crowd, who for the first time kept
quiet enough to hear what was
said, suggesting that new count
of the votes be had. The Tate
men agreed to this, but the South
men claimed they had elected their
man on the first count and refused
to have a new vote. From that
time on both Mr.. Scott and Mr..
Meagfer acted as Chairman; each
put motions, all of which were
yelled down by the convention.
Mr.. ]. R. Williams, by some
means, was elected Secretary.
After spending four hours in
yelling, crowding, throwing up
their hands, abusing each other
and the County Committee, the
convention finally adjourned sine
die at e o'clock, with no one being
able to tell exactly what had been
done. Some claim that the vote of
the county was equally divided be-
tween Messrs. Tate and South.
and list ofdelegates appointed, but
others contend that no such action
was had.
NOTES.
'Brish. Atkins said: "It's dis.
grace to our party"
Hollow ware and cutlery were
exhibited but no blood was spilled.
Mr.. John Meagher was exalted
in the eyes of his countrymen-on
the shoulders Of John Griffin.
Uncle Jack Glore was on hand
and cheered as vociferously for
John c. Breckenridge as usual.
The residents of the most re
mote portions Of South Frankfort
and Belle Point were startled by
the yells which went up from the
State House Yard.
Judge McManama attempted to
address the convention, but the
boys would not hear him, and ex-
claiming Ya-a-h! he made face at
the crowd and retired.
A country delegate remarked,
II attended a primary convention
at the Forks when they Knocked a

anything like this before.

One gentleman observed that
"he had been informed that some

looking for the party with an

blood in his eye. He did not
